The core of the Sun has a temperature of 1.5 × 107 K, while the surface of the Sun has a temperature of 4870 K (which varies ove

r the surface, with the sunspots being cooler). Treat the core of the Sun and the surface of the Sun as two large reservoirs connected by the solar interior. Nuclear fusion processes in the core produce 3.8 × 1026 J every second. Assume that 100% of this energy is transferred from the core to the surface The core of the Sun has a temperature of 1.5 × 107 K, while the surface of the Sun has a temperature of 4870 K (which varies over the surface, with the sunspots being cooler).

If the core of Rigel produces 60,000 times as much energy per second as the core of the Sun does, calculate the change in the entropy ΔSR, in joules per kelvin, of Rigel every second.

Answer:

The Sun and planets are shown to the same scale. The small terrestrial planets and tiny Pluto are in the box---the Earth is the blue dot near the center of the box (montage created by Nick Strobel using NASA images).

Size

The Sun is by far the biggest thing in the solar system. From its angular size of about 0.5° and its distance of almost 150 million kilometers, its diameter is determined to be 1,392,000 kilometers. This is equal to 109 Earth diameters and almost 10 times the size of the largest planet, Jupiter. All of the planets orbit the Sun because of its enormous gravity. It has about 333,000 times the Earth's mass and is over 1,000 times as massive as Jupiter. It has so much mass that it is able to produce its own light. This feature is what distinguishes stars from planets.

Composition

What is the Sun made of? Spectroscopy shows that hydrogen makes up about 94% of the solar material, helium makes up about 6% of the Sun, and all the other elements make up just 0.13% (with oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen the three most abundant ``metals''---they make up 0.11%). In astronomy, any atom heavier than helium is called a ``metal'' atom. The Sun also has traces of neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, and iron. The percentages quoted here are by the relative number of atoms. If you use the percentage by mass, you find that hydrogen makes up 78.5% of the Sun's mass, helium 19.7%, oxygen 0.86%, carbon 0.4%, iron 0.14%, and the other elements are 0.54%.

Cloudy nights are usually warm because​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

When you have a cloudy night, the clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.

The clouds act like a blanket and trap the heat it, and that is why every time you have a cloudy night, it is always warmer than a clear night.

If you set the cruise control of your car to a certain speed and take a turn, the speed of the car will remain the same. Is the
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Yes, the car has acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. The velocity is a vector quantity. If a car is moving with constant speed but taking a turn, it means the velocity is changing, so the car have some acceleration.

A box with a mass of 2 kg accelerates in a straight line
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: 16N

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of box M= 2 kg

Initial speed V1 = 4 m/s

Final speed V2 = 8 m/s

Time taken T= 0.5 s

Average strength of this force F = ?

Now, recall that Force is the rate of change of momentum per unit time

i.e Force = momentum / time

Hence, F = M x (V2 - V1)/T

F = 2kg x (8 m/s - 4 m/s) / 0.5s

F = 2kg x (4 m/s / 0.5s)

F = 2kg x 8 m/s/s)

F = 16N

Thus, the average strength of this

force is 16 newton.
